Serdika Metro Station (Bulgarian: Метростанция „Сердика“) is a station on the Sofia Metro in Bulgaria. It was put into operation on October 31, 2000. With the opening of Serdika II on August 31, 2012 the station became a transfer station between the Red and Blue lines. However it is not a true transfer station (such as platofrms 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Canning Town station in London), but an interconnected station, in a similar manner to the Washington Metro's two Farragut stations.[1][2]

The station is named after the ancient city of Serdica, as it lies in the very centre of the hitherto unearthed ruins of that city.[3] These are located about 20 feet below ground and, along with the opening of Serdika II station, a large section of the old city has been exposed and is in full view both around and inside the two stations. [4]
